CO2 / CO
2
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO
2
) is a naturally occurring chemical compound composed of
2 oxygen atoms each covalently double bonded to a single carbon atom.
COB
A Saia PCD program is a tree-like structure of organization blocks which contain the application‘s code. Each block
provides a particular service: cyclical programming (COB), sequential programming (SB), sub-programs (PB), functions
with parameters (FB), and exception routines (XOB)
CPU
A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of
a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic
CSV
A comma-separated values (CSV) (also sometimes called character-separated values, because the separator character
does not have to be a comma) file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain-text form
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized network protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP)
networks for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces and
services

Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) is used for telecommunication signaling over analog telephone lines in
the voice-frequency band between telephone handsets and other communications devices and the switching center
FB
A Saia PCD program is a tree-like structure of organization blocks which contain the application‘s code. Each block
provides a particular service: cyclical programming (COB), sequential programming (SB), sub-programs (PB), functions
with parameters (FB), and exception routines (XOB)
FBox
The graphical function boxes (FBoxes) have inputs and outputs, and can also have configurable properties using
parameter windows which can also be modified online. Around 250 FBoxes are already provided in the basic PG5
package. The range of functions goes far beyond the normal binary and arithmetic functions.
